Description

This hall house was originally built in the fourteenth century with later eighteenth and nineteenth additions and facade. The present owners have transformed Spout House creating a stunning 21st century interior. Cleverly balancing the original features, beams and Inglenook fireplace with a bespoke contemporary kitchen, bathroom, en-suite and cloakroom. They have also added an oak framed double cart barn garage with a sweeping drive and ample parking for numerous vehicles. Additionally there is an oak framed home office all of which is set in a wonderful undulating 1 & 1/2 acre plot with a meandering stream which feeds a well stocked small lake. Unusually for a period home the rooms are light and airy and of great proportion. With a stunning rural outlook framed by the North Downs.
